End Of Jupiter - The Matrix Games version of West Front

Hill 112, 10 Km Southwest of Caen, France (Best played against human opponent.): Late on July 10th, it was realized that the battle to break through to the Orne River was seriously in question. In fact, the battle for the vital Hill 112 was turning into a stalemate. Major General Thomas decided that a fresh attack would be required to wrest control of the vital summit and the observation points looking south into the German areas. The intense fighting to the northeast had sapped most of the British reserves, leaving only the 5th Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry (DCLI) Battalion, which was snatching much needed rest in the outskirts of Fontaine-Etouperfour. It was decided that the gains would outweigh the risks and the 5th DCLI formed up behind positions held by the 4th Sommerset Light Infantry Battalion along the Caen-Evracy road. The 5th DCLI was supported by the 44th Royal Tank Regiment, of the 4th Armored Brigade, who arrived late. The 5th DCLI jumped off across the open ground to clear the remainder of the hill as the 44th RTR arrived. Elements of the German 19th SS Panzergrenadier Regiment were dug in down slope and supported by miscellaneous Panzers. The battle raged up until dark, with artillery from both sides actively affecting the advantage on several occasions. The hill was secured and several heavy counterattacks were fended off into the night.
